Sahara Special

Saraha Special is a book that I would like to use in my classroom, whether I have it on a book shelf for students to independently read, or we read it a a class. This book helps others see through the eyes of a "special needs" child, which allows others to become aware of what it's like to be different. When teachers, or future teachers, read it, it makes them stop and think about the children in their classrooms/future classrooms with special needs, and in turn, hopefully, make them change the way they treat these children. When students read Sahara Special, they will be able to see what it feels like for their classmates and friends who are in special needs classrooms; helping students become aware of diversity and leading them to act appropriately pertaining to diversity will help them in their future.
